martial arts masterpieces for those on a budget 4 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Ok, so VideoAsia's picture quality sucks, well most of the time, that is because they are taking these forgotten, all but lost films and releasing them, obviously using old VHS tapes as their main source, or possibly only source. You're gonna have to get over that and accept the trade in in the low cost of the package. Good news though, for those people who hate the poor picture quality, it is only a real problem for older titles that VideoAsia so loveingly gives us, this release has many younger titles, many of which I have seen on other VideoAsia releases, and they looked pretty good.

This set will be awesome, I am sure of that, because many of these titles I already have, so I know. The set contains MACHINE GUN DRAGON (1978) starring karate legend Sonny Chiba and Japanese gangster (Yukuza) star Bunta Sagawa, a great pairing. FORCE: FIVE (1981) is directed by American chopsocky great Robert Clouse (Enter the Dragon, Game of Death) and co-stars Richard Norton and kickboxing legend Benny "the Jet" Urqiduez. SKINNY TIGER, FATTY DRAGON (1990) stars comedian Karl Maka and one of martial arts cinema's true heavyweights Sammo Hung. "Master killer" Gordon Liu is is very funny in (TWO) SHAOLIN KIDS IN HONG KONG(1994), the rest of this "comedy" is not. Donnie Yen stars in HIGH VOLTAGE (1995), the copy in VideoAsia's Donnie Yen Collection looked great, but had no English subtitles or dubbing, let's hope they've done something about that for this release. Jet Li and Rosamund Kwan, from the Once Upon a Time in China series, return in (DR. WEI IN THE) SCRIPTURE WITHOUT WORDS, a splended Indiana Jones wanna-be that should be seen by all martial arts fans and especially Li's legion of supporters.

The other four titles are all documentaries, of which only one I have seen. TOP FIGHTER 2 (1996) is a pleasing documentation of the woman of martial arts cinema, interviews with the likes of Michelle Yeoh, Cynthia Rothrock, Angela Mao, and Sophia Crawford, among others. JACKIE CHAN: THE KUNG FU YEARS, I would guess is about his early work in old school chopsocky flicks. MMA EXTREME, I know nothing about this one, but as a fan of mma, I looked foreward to seeing it. The last title is THE REAL BRUCE LEE 2, a movie that until VideoAsia's Dragon Immortal collection about a year, I didn't even know it existed.

Good summary of the "Kung Fu Flick" 3 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I remember back inthe 80s, saturday afternoon kung fu movies on TV, the Kung Fu triple feature matinees at the local downtown theater. These old school films remain some of the most entertaining and thrilling movie experiences to date(even inspite of all that CGI!).

Chop Socky explains the story of how Chinese cinema was born with emphisis on the martial arts movies. It offers a good ecapsulated overview. Taking you through the early 1920s up to the present day. My only gripe is that it was too short. Not enough in the special features. There also should have been more on the Shaw Bros Studios. After all... they WERE fung fu theater during the 70s and 80s! Despite that, this is a must to own if you call yourself a fan of the genra.

Editorial Review:

In this action-packed original co-production from the Independent Film Channel, filmmaker Ian Taylor takes a behind-the-scenes look at the stars, fighting styles and weaponry of Hong Kong cinema from its earliest beginnings to the latest big-budget epics. Through rarely seen film clips, detailed scene analysis and in-depth interviews with martial arts masters such as Jackie Chan, Jet Li and John Woo, CHOP SOCKY: CINEMA HONG KONG provides an in-depth portrait of Hong Kong's wholly original and undeniably unique contribution to world cinema.

its not Lee's concept, but its not a bad movie...if you let it be 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Most people are pissed (and rightly so) that this is Not what Bruce Lee had envisioned the film to be, he died suddenly in 1973 and what remained was just unfinished ideas.
Most of the footage left shot was re-takes after re-takes being Lee was such a perfectionist.

In a Warriors Story documentary, you see the remaining footage edited together nicely in what would have been the ending of the movie.
That being said........the directors of Games of Death did not have access to Lee's notes or what his vision was for the movie, this movie came out in 1978....5 full years after he died, and who knows when they actually started on it...1976? who knows.

What you get is a decent story line, good Amircian actors, good mucic score. Actually the production quality of this movie ranks about the best of any Lee movie (exception Enter the Dragon).

The stand in are good.

If you just watched this movie for the very first time and knew NOTHING about its background, you'd say it wasnt bad at all.

What we get is a directors vision of a movie and uses the last footage of Bruce Lee, to me thats not bad.
I do wish the director used all of the Lee footage, and got them other 2 guys with him back to make it a better movie, but it is what it is.

BUT I must say this.........now that the original Bruce Lee notes and ideas and lost footage has been found.

Please Hollywood.....or Harvest Moon Productions, make a authentic "Games Of Death" to the best of your abilities, making it what Lees vision was. Using todays computer enhancements and technology, Im sure a decent film came be rendered......actually, one could almost make a version themselves on their own personal computer using all the footage available, maybe someone will.

Editorial Review:

This film kicks off as a docudrama exploring the final years of Bruce Lee life, featuring all-new revealing interviews with those who worked with him. The second half is the unseen Game of Death footage in its explosive entirety. Overview: Bruce Lee In G.O.D. kicks off as a docudrama which explores the final years of Bruce Lee life, featuring all-new revealing interviews with those who worked with him. The second half of the film is the real treat: Bruce Lee unseen Game of Death footage in its explosive entirety. Raw, uncut and masterfully edited... just the way Bruce intended it!

Caveat Emptor 1 out of 5 stars.
44 of 47 people found this review helpful.

I knew I was in trouble when I received my copy of this title today and the return address was for England. When I popped the DVD into my drive, a message came back immediately saying in essence that I was in the wrong region for running this DVD. I am going to try it on my DVD ROM drive in my computer, but I have no idea that that will work either. All in all, this has been a disappointing day as far as this item is concerned. I would advise people not to buy it or at least be careful concerning the person selling the item. Even though the Amazon ad says that the disc will play in all regions, that isn't necessarily true. In the meantime, we will have to wait until an American distributor decides to bring either the Green Hornet movies or, even better, the TV series to the market. Let us hope.

See other reviews on this page for the reason why you should not buy this dvd if you live in the USA. If you are interested in the Green Hornet, look for the dvd in the NTSC format, probably linked on this same page.

His Best Film After Enter The Dragon! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This movie (called Fist Of Fury overseas) was made before Enter The Dragon and, in my opinion, ranks just behind ETD! While all of Bruce's films and fight scenes are legendary, if this one or ETD is on TV, everything stops! LOL!

The plot, like ETD, is very basic. Bruce comes back to his martial arts school to find out his teacher was dead! Not only that, he suspects was murdered and goes on a rampage to avenge his death!

What's interesting is that even though the film is fiction, the teacher was actually a real life person. That character was recently shown in a film by Jet Li called "Fearless."

Back to the movie, what makes this special is Bruce himself. He was electrifying in every scene he was in. While I am still biased to Enter The Dragon, Chinese Connection ranks a close second in my view! Highly recommended!

Helpful opinion 1 out of 5 stars.

When I first bought the 2-sided dvd, I thought cool, I get two movies for a good price, but no. I would stay away from this and highly recommend buying the Box set or Bruce Lee collection, as it is a much better buy. This dvd is unrestored, has no option for subtitles, comes only in fullscreen, has no extra content that I think is worthwhile, and furthermore, both movies were not uncut as in the box set, which I bought later on. So anyways, go for the Bruce Lee Collection instead.

The greatest stars in Hollywood all got their start somewhere, and now, straight from the studio vaults, you can see your favorite actors like never before! Witness the discovery of raw talent as these matinee idols in the making appear in front of the cameras for the first time, offering an amazing demonstration of the studio system at its height. If you thought the movies themselves were amazing, wait until you see how it first came together in these entertaining, enlightening looks at Hollywood legends in the making! Includes: Mia Farrow's screen test for the role of Liesl von Trapp in "The Sound of Music" and her screen test for "Peyton Place," a role she went on to win; newcomer Ann-Margret's 1961 personality test and her screen tests for "State Fair" in which her unmistakable sex appeal won her the role of Emily; Patty Duke's screen test for "Valley of the Dolls" in which she shattered her good girl persona and proved she was capable of a wider range of roles; Raquel Welch's screen test with James Coburn for "Our Man Flint;" Sean Connery's 1957 screen test for "The Inn of the Sixth Happiness;" Marlon Brando in his test for "Viva Zapata!" in 1952; Dustin Hoffman's personality test and stock test in 1966; screen tests to cast the "Batman" duo with Adam West testing with Burt Ward and Lyle Waggoner testing with Peter Deyell; director Robert Wise's marathon search for the children in "The Sound of Music," including the screen tests of Angela Cartwright, Kim Darby and Tish Sterling; rare soundtrack of Christopher Plummer singing "Edelweiss" in "The Sound of Music" as well as the final film version, with vocals by Bill Lee.

The KUNG FU 20 MOVIE PACK offers just a sampling of the hundreds of martial arts movies that have been created around the globe for the past few decades.
